The District! The Best Boutique Hotel in Boracay

Even before its rehabilitation, Boracay has always been my favorite island in the Philippines.

I’ve been to this pristine island six times already but I just keep on coming back.

Apart from being the perfect beach getaway because of its breathtaking beach and crystal clear waters, this small island also has practically everything I need—from restos, to bars, to water activities, not to mention the array of hotels you can choose from to make your stay more memorable.

On my sixth sojourn to Boracay, I stayed in this newly renovated contemporary boutique hotel, The District. It’s conveniently located at the beachfront of Station 2 which is about a 5 min walk away from D’mall.

The District, for me, is by far the best modern boutique hotel for vacationers who want to stay at a convenient location without sacrificing their privacy. It has everything that you’ll ever need all in one place.

Join me as I discover what The District has to offer!

THE ISLAND

The District Hotel is approximately 10-15 minutes away from the main port of Boracay island.

Note: The Hotel provides complimentary Caticlan Airport Transfer (from 5am-6pm) is only an added perk to guests whose bookings are made through their website or with their Reservations Team.

It is conveniently located just a couple of steps away from D-mall and the peaceful beachfront of Station 2.

Here is a glimpse of the newly rehabilitated Boracay. This is the view from the main entrance of the hotel.

This is my first time visiting Boracay after its rehabilitation and closure. So far, I’m really liking the changes and improvements.

THE DISTRICT

Just like the newly rehabilitated Boracay island, The District also got a makeover just last year. They added a couple of modern touches and design elements that gave the hotel a more contemporary feel and modern vibe. This surely is an up to date hotel, I must say.

OVERALL

Overall, we loved our stay at The District, and I highly recommend it to anyone who wishes to stay at one of the best contemporary beachfront resorts in Boracay.

With its prime location in Station 2 and a beach that is literally right outside its doorsteps, the resort and restaurants make an ideal staycation for families, group of friends or lovers who wish to explore the island on foot.

What’s more, the resort also takes pride in its personalized service that equals that of higher priced hotel/resorts in the area.

The District has definitely made it on top of my list and is now my new go-to hotel/resort in Boracay for an amazing staycation experience with awesome food to match.
